Stu I watched a couple of minutes on it and yes your car gearing may be a bit high.
Also you appear in the first couple of minutes to be correcting the car on the straight to get a better line for the end turn. I'd suggest working on improving the consistency of your exit on the previous turn so you don't have to slow the car down on the straight by steering - slows it down a lot.
On the technical section in the middle of the track you're leaving a bit too much room for error so your lap distance is longer.
Your entry to the left hairpin appears to be 'let go of throttle then turn'. The car has a bit of a delay actually doing what you ask as the tyre takes a moment to grip and change direction.
The front running cars are turning in on full power and then easing off to bring the front in to the apex. There's an instant response because the tyre is already changing direction - you're just adding weight to it to ask it to turn more. They're adding more and more steering as the car slows as well - shortening the length of the turn entry (and therefore lap length) without compromising the corner exit.
